Secondly, 34 language learners are active in 35 , therefore, they do not wait for a chance to use the languages, and they look for such a chance. They find people who speak the language and let those people 36 them when they make a 37 . They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say 38 things which sound weird. They are willing to make mistakes and try again, when communication is difficult. They can accept information that is 39 or incomplete. It is more 40 for them to learn to think in the language than to know the 41 of every word.

He sat and watched the moth for several hours as the moth struggled to the body through that little hole. Soon it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had as far as it could and it could go no further. It just seemed to be stuck. So the man, out of his kindness, decided to help the moth. He took a pair of scissors and the remaining bit of the cocoon. The then came out easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriven (无用的) wings. The man continued to watch the moth because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and to be able to support the , which would get smaller in time. Neither happened! In fact, the little moth spent the rest of its life around with a swollen body and shriven wings. It was able to fly.

A few months ago, I was picking up the children at school. Emily, another mother that I knew well, rushed up to me. She was full of .
“Do you know you and I are?” she asked. I could answer, she gave out the reason for her question. She had just returned from renewing her driver’s license at a government office. The woman desk asked her what her “occupation” was. Emily hesitated, how to answer it. “What I mean is,” explained the woman, “do you have a job, or are you just a ...?” “Of course I have a job,” answered Emily. “I’m a (an) .” “We don’t ‘mother’ as an occupation ... ‘housewife’ covers it,” she said.
I forgot all about her story one day I found myself in the same situation. This time it was at our own Town Hall. The clerk was a woman.
“And what is your occupation?” she asked. What me say it, I do not know. The words simply jumped out. “I’m ... a (an) in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”
The clerk stopped, her ball-point pen in mid-air. She looked up she had not heard right. I repeated the title slowly.
“Might I ask,” said the clerk with new interest, “just what you do in your ?” Coolly, I heard myself , “I have a continuing program of research in the laboratory and in the field. I’m working for my masters (the whole family) and already have credits (令人增光的人或事物) (all daughters). I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). The job is more challenging than most jobs and the are in satisfaction rather than just money.”
There was an increasing note of in the clerk’s voice as she in the form. As I drove into our driveway(私家车道), I was by my lab assistants — ages 13, 7, and 3. Inside the house I could hear our new experimental model (six months) in the child-development program.
I felt successful. Motherhood...what a great !.

Years ago, I worked at the Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus.
